Add Sheldon White to the list of named being considered for the new Eagles player personnel position that is under the control of coach Chip Kelly.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, White is "expected to interview" for the opening created by owner Jeff Lurie when he dropped Friday's bomb with the demotion of general manager Howie Roseman.

White and internal candidate Ed Marynowitz, who is the team's assistant director of player personnel, could be the leading candidates.

The appeal of Marynowitz is that, among other qualifications, he was the University of Alabama's director of player personnel from 2008-11, serving as the liason between the program and NFL scouts.

According to the Lions' bio, "White heads a team of personnel scouts that are responsible for evaluating all of the players in the National Football League, including the current Lions roster, and is also in charge of tryouts and visits for potential additional signings.

"White runs the free agent meetings, plays a key role in free agency and is an integral part of the draft process. He is also involved with the negotiating process, providing detailed reports on pro and college prospects, and has negotiated high round draft choices and selected free agents."

The Eagles need to act quickly if only to get better organized for what will be a hectic offseason of college talent re-evaluation and free-agent judgments.

The feeling here is that the Eagles will be doomed to a severe decline no matter who is coaching them if they don't do a better job drafting and acquiring impact players in 2015.
